Layoff happened 13 days ago, feeling lost after 13 years as a recruiter

They called a meeting on Wednesday and 13 of us were let go. I had been there 13 years. I have not told my family yet. What did you do in the first week?

Give yourself the first couple of days to be upset. I did, and then I felt able to plan.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
